Fang said he planned to travel to Hong Kong late this month or early February, and was looking forward to reuniting with family and friends. He would also shop for medicine and take a Covid-19 vaccine, as well as watch films not slated to be shown on the mainland, he said.“The most important thing is to meet older relatives aged above 90, and it’s like a dream to still have the opportunity to get together again,” he said.
“I’m looking forward to going to see how much Hong Kong has changed,” he said “Is it like what social media said, that many Hong Kong middle-class families have left.
